El vínculo infancia-televisión en las sociedad actual: análisis de la programación televisiva infantil española

Abstract

If we bear in mind that mainly the television violent contents increase children aggressiveness, long periods of time watching TV make the chil­dren to loose the desire of practicing physical activities and that, even, for example three or four hours a day in front of the television can increase the risk of suffering a deficit of attention disorder and hyperactivity. For this reason, it is important to consider this subject which continues being relevant and current due to the long time our children spend watching TV everyday.In this article, worried about this matter, and not in theory terms, we have chec­ked the last decade reports as the title mentions. We present a descriptive study of the television for children, analyzing the children’s programmers in the Spanish tele­vision channels. We argue about the educational values that TV offers the children by checking its rules and taking one day children’s programmers as an example we analyze and describe it in order to finish with some conclusions.Since it is not possible to reduce the time children spend watching TV, at least we should know what is on TV and suggest an improvement in the contents. Proba­bly in this way our children will be less influenced by television.
